Ibanez JEM7VL Steve Vai Jem Left-Handed Electric Guitar (with Case)

Few would debate Steve's tremendous influence on Ibanez guitars. Innovations from the guitars created by Steve and Ibanez designers can be found in so many of their instruments, from pro through entry level. Then there's Steve Vai's Universe, the guitar that ignited the 7-string revolution in rock.

When Steve Vai guitars, with their lightening Edge tremolos, lightning fast 2-octave necks, and beautifully sculpted bodies came out in 1987, they were cutting edge. In 2001, they're still cutting edge. And that's the mark of a true classic.

Features
Contoured Alder body with 24-fret JEM neck provides easy access to all registers. Alder is best known as the body wood for the "classic single-coil, bolt-on neck guitar," Alder produces clear full bodied vintage tone that works well for lead or rhythm work.

Deep routed tremolo cavities allow pitches to be raised or lowered

Vai, choice of DiMarzio pickups combined with Ibanez Split-5 wiring provide incredible tonal versatility. Humbuckers: Ceramic magnet humbucker calibrated to the Evolution DP159. Fat, punch, and loud. Designed by Steve Vai. Single coil: JEM custom exclusive. Alnico magnet pickup calibrated for perfect balance with Breed humbuckers. Classic single-coil tone.

6105 frets are a high but thin fret with perfect intonation, good control, and easy playability and "no choking" string bending
